• Lying on a sofa, his lips and countenance bloodless, his skin bathed with a cold, clammy moisture, and his pulse so slow and feeble as scarcely to be felt, 10.
• She is lean and pale, 28.
• An enormous tumor, almost as large as the first of an adult, is developed in the lumbar region. This tumor, quite circumscribed, is almost indolent, even to pressure. It is movable, and appears formed in the thickness of the derma. The skin which covers it is of a lively pink. The tension of the integuments is felt even to the hips, and is accompanied by a constant itching. After twenty-four hours passed without taking the medicine, this tumor was almost reduced (eighth day); a similar tumor, a little less prominent, but larger, manifests itself on the external and superior portion of the right thigh (eleventh day); a third tumor on the palmar aspects of the right wrist. The mobility of the skin, in this region, permits me to state positively that the ganglionic engorgement exists in the thickness of the former. During twenty-four hours the hand is completely engorged, so much so as to disable me from writing (twelfth day); finally, the same symptom shows itself simultaneously on the scrotum, the penis, and the prepuce, in such a manner as to resemble at once an enormous hydrocele and a phimosis. The parts affected are, moreover, absolutely indolent. These tumefactions, like the others, require two days for their resolution (thirteenth day), 17.
• Trembling of the whole body, 25.

• Great debility, 32.
• Feeling weak and exhausted, 38.
• Weakness and pain in the small of the back, 39.

SKIN

• Great dryness of the skin, as if the pores were obstructed (Oo.), 42.
• The skin on the ends of the fingers peels up, from excessive dryness (Oo.), 42.
• Eruption of red pimples, indolent or very slightly painful, extending, sometimes in clusters, sometimes singly, over the neck, the shoulders, and especially the thighs. Some of these pimples are the size of large peas. They are easily broken, bleeding a little, and drying up very soon (after three days), 17.
• Itching of different parts of the body, more especially the anterior surface of the thighs (after two hours), 17.
• The itching of the thighs extends to the legs, and manifests itself, especially at the ankles and instep (second day), 17. [250.]

• The nights are restless; almost complete sleeplessness (sixth day), 17.
• At night, tardy slumbers, with anxiety in the limbs, slight acceleration of the beats of the heart, sweat on the præcordial region, dry heat of other parts of the body, 17.
• She sleeps very little, and often lies awake all night, 25.
• Troubled slumber, waking at intervals, 2.
• Awoke suddenly, as from a struggle of incubus, 2.
• The ordinary effect of green tea taken late at night is incubus or nightmare in its most formidable shape; and many persons who, after a hearty dinner, have taken green tea, wake in the midst of the night in a state of the most fearful agitation and excitement; the head is oppressed, a sensation of approaching death is felt, or sometimes the person seems to be dragged from the lowest abyss of darkness back to the world, from which, during his paroxysm, he had felt gradually to sink, 20.
• Horrible dreams. I murdered, in cold blood, young boys and young girls. These crimes caused in me no horror, nor even any emotion, and even after waking I found pleasure for a long time in the hideous remembrance of this dream, 17.
